These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

I was just curious if any one knew what breed or breeds these roosters are. They are both around 6 months old and are both crowing. They are leaving here today. But I just wanted to know what they might be.

Sorry not best pictures of this one..he is kind of hard to get any pictures of.

Picture with some of the pullets

I would guess Blue Orpington and Black Sexlink.

Ok, thanks. Are the blue orpington roosters suppose to be pretty friendly roosters? That is what my FIL said. But I have no idea. The barred rock mix looking one tried to flog me. But the other one never tried to bother me. But he was not real friendly. Even though I had both as chicks.

They are both gone now. My Father in Law is taking them to a friend he knows to live on a farm. He was trying get me keep the blue orp..but I was afraid he would try to flog my kids. So I just decided to get rid of him too.
